Reviews

This collection reveals Conrad as a writer both conversant with and integrating an astonishing array of art forms in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including music, opera, theatre, painting and dance. It is indispensable not only for Conrad scholars interested in the fullest picture of his immersion in the arts, but also for any student of culture seeking a case study of the striking interrelation of the arts in this period. * Debra Romanick Baldwin, University of Dallas *
